How a MES can future-proof your production

In today’s food industry, it all comes down to data: gaining insight is crucial to prevent downtime, waste, and quality issues. A Manufacturing Execution System supports this effort.

The days when production lines ran without anyone really knowing how efficient they were are behind us. In the modern food industry, data is everything: understanding your processes is essential to avoid downtime, reduce waste, and tackle quality issues. More and more producers are experiencing the benefits of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), such as Visual Link MES by Hellebrekers Industrial Automation.

Visual Link MES is specifically designed to support production companies in the food sector. The system collects data from every machine on the shop floor and converts it into actionable information. “Our customers get immediate insight into how their lines are performing,” says a Hellebrekers expert. “That means they can respond quickly to deviations—like when more raw materials are being used than expected.”

An MES offers more than just efficiency. At a time when sustainability and food safety are in the spotlight, the system helps companies meet strict requirements. With Visual Link MES, every step in the process can be traced—from raw material to finished product. This isn’t just useful during audits; it’s also vital for customers who demand transparency.

While MES technology may seem like a significant investment, the return is compelling. Companies using Visual Link MES often report a drop in operational costs and a boost in productivity within just a few months. On top of that, the software integrates easily with existing equipment, making implementation smooth.

Visual Link MES shows how technology can play a vital role in the food industry. For producers aiming to work efficiently, sustainably, and flexibly, this solution is hard to ignore. Want to know more? Visit visuallink.nl.
